Ekiti smokers face ₦250,000 fine, six-month jail




Ekiti State Government on Monday signed the Prohibition of Smoking in Public Places Rules, 2014, to begin the enforcement of the law.
The signing ceremony took place during public presentation of the rules regulations on Tuesday in Ado-Ekiti by the Commissioner for Health, Dr. Eniola Ajayi.
It was in collaboration with the New Initiative for Social Development and Campaign for Tobacco-free Kids.
She said, “The rules are designed to ensure full enforcement of the spirit and letters of the law.
“If the area designated for smoking is to be within an enclosed building or a partially enclosed place on any premises, only one such smoking area may be designated.”
